HCC - 07/23 - Pre-Procurement Market Engagement for the Provision of Functional Assessment Training

Tender description

2.1 For many years Hertfordshire County Council (HCC) have delivered a comprehensive ‘Functional Assessment’ training programme to all of our operational practitioners across Adult Care Services who are not qualified occupational therapists. The programme supports the development of a ‘functional assessor’ (Trusted Assessor) role, whereby practitioners are able to independently assess for and prescribe a range of functional assessment solutions as a means to maximise independence and participation in meaningful daily living activities. To date this has been delivered in-house by ACS Occupational Therapists, however we no longer have the opportunity or capacity to continue with our current delivery model and are looking to explore alternative and more sustainable solutions moving forward. Please log in to https://in-tendhost.co.uk/supplyhertfordshire/aspx/Home to review the PPME Document for full details Lot 1: Hertfordshire County Council (the "Council") is carrying out Pre-Procurement Market Engagement ("PPME") for the provision of Functional Assessment TrainingThe Council is seeking input from the market as to what might be the most attractive way of packaging and scoping any future opportunity for contracts. This input will help inform any resultant procurement process.The Council will consider the feedback received to help inform the Council’s options and further decision making. For the avoidance of doubt, this stage of the project is not part of a formal procurement process, and the Council is not committing, at this stage, to carrying out such a process. Participation or non-participation in the PPME shall not prevent any supplier participating in a potential future procurement, nor is it intended that any information supplied as part of the PPME shall place any supplier at an advantage in a potential procurement process. Participation in the PPME will be at each organisation’s own cost. No expense in responding to this PPME will be reimbursed by the Council.Further information can be found within the attached documentation.
